When will this feeling of alienation stop?

It’s hard having BPD. Sometimes i split so hard my brain cannot recollect the way I’ve felt about someone, they’re either great or awful. And when they wrong me I will feel in danger no matter how many times I’ve told myself I don’t need them, my heart bleeds for them.

I just found that rain sounds and brown noise really helps mer sleep even when I’m hypomanic and my thoughts are running super fast I manage to fall sleep. Same when i need to relax and I’m very apprehensive. I recommend them. There’s lots on Spotify and YouTube. How do you switch off?

What is a social battery?

A social battery is a name commonly attributed to the way you approach and feel about interactions with groups of people.

It’s the age old concept of introverts and extroverts, and consequently whether you feel drained or energised in social settings. Yet, it goes deeper than that. An ambivert is a person who sits in the middle, a person who would seek a social interaction more so if it’s one they’ll gain actual value from. For me as a person, I’m good in social settings but in my own strange way. The BPD way. I can often get carried away in conversations with others, I’ll over share my traumatic experiences, say the wrong things, lose what I was saying and in general come across as sporadic. But underneath all that I still allow my personality to shine through. And people like it, and when I find myself on a level with someone new I’m full of energy and burning confidence. Someone liking me feels like a drug. I feel the rush which is always paralleled by the comedown after. I begin to start spiralling down in the knowledge that I am losing myself inside someone else. Are all my traits just a blend of all the people I like? This can get exhausting, and sometimes I feel it’s just easier to avoid people to hold onto myself.
The term social battery is used to emphasise how social interactivity is itself a certain type of energy that will need recharging . An introvert would be on an iPhone 3 battery, their phone dying at 20%. An extrovert would be a classic brick phone Nokia, with their battery lives that could outlive the sun. But what about an ambivert? An ambivert Is your main phone that you rarely charge, but it never dies - if you’re out and away from your charger it’s no issue, as an ambivert your going to social interactions for meaning, not to use your phone.

What about you? Do you have good social battery or not? How long does it take to recharge?

How BPD develops:

The emergence of Borderline Personality Disorder is due to a variety of different factors. The actual reason for the disorder isn’t clear yet but here are some factors which have been linked to how it develops.

Genetics:
Twin studies have found that BPD is linked to genetical inheritance. If a close relative suffers from the same diagnosis you may have a genetic predisposition to it. But the role genetics play in the development of BPD is unclear. It is thought that genetics make you more vulnerable to the development of it but environmental factors are what triggers it.

Issues with brain development:
Some studies found BPD is linked to problems with brain development, more precisely the size of certain areas of the brain and unusual activity in others.
The parts of the brain related to the disorder are:
- Amygdala: responsible for regulating emotions of fear, anxiety and anger.
- Orbitofrontal cortex: helps regulate behaviour and self-control.
- Hippocampus: involved in planning and decision making.

Environmental factors:
Stressful events in childhood will increase chances of developing BPD. Child neglect, abusive environments and having a parent with substance abuse are all potential causes for the disorder.

Brain chemistry:
Serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to depression and self destructive urges, may have defective elements that encourage the onset of BPD.
